To be eligible to be appointed by the Governor for membership on the Parole Board, an individual must have at least six years of professional experience in parole, probation, social work, or related areas, including one year in a supervisory or administrative capacity, and a bachelor’s degree. Parole Board members may not hold any other office or employment, and they are not permitted to take any active part in politics, a prohibition that applies to all Parole Board employees.
